Over 120 years old, ST GEORGE’S COLLEGE is the oldest boys’ School in Zimbabwe and remains one of Africa’s pre-eminent educational institutions. As the Big Brother to HARTMANN HOUSE, the COLLEGE has a signi�cant history and a deep sense of tradition and culture. It enjoys an enviable environment with a plethora of outstanding facilities. The COLLEGE has a record of excellence on many levels; including 35 Rhodes’ scholars, Olympians and accomplished Old Georgians in every sphere of the world, and all of this stands upon the strength and stability of its Jesuit ethos.

OUR COLLEGE

At the centre of a Jesuit education stands the phrase “Men of God, Men for and with Others”. It’s not so much the phrase which separates HARTMANN HOUSE and ST GEORGE’S COLLEGE from other private educational institutions in Zimbabwe, but what it actually means!

Young men are educated, nurtured and matured to see beyond their own achievements to the importance of service to others in their communities. This is the spirit, the ethos of a true Jesuit education instilled in every HARTMANN HOUSE and ST GEORGE’S COLLEGE pupil.

Over a student's school career, his entry level (Form I) subject choices will evolve into IGCSE (O-Levels) and A level choices. The courses provided lead to Cambridge International Examinations, IGCSE, AS and A-Level. The pathway that a pupil follows is determined by the School, according to his age, ability and aptitude. IGCSE examinations are taken in Form IV, while AS level in Lower VI and Advanced Level Examinations are taken in Upper VI.

Entry Level (Form I & II)Forms I to IV are divided into �ve classes or sets. In Form I, set grading takes place after the �rst term examinations and there are usually only minor changes in Form II.

IGCSE Level (Form III & IV)When pupils enter Form III they are reset according to the results of the Form II internal examinations and they remain in these groups for their IGCSE levels. Forms III & IV comprise two-year coursework that culminates in an International General Certi�cate of Secondary Education Examination (IGCSE), set by the University of Cambridge. This is the equivalent to what used to be called the O-Level Examination.

AS and A Level (Lower and Upper VI)Lower and Upper VI is a two year course in preparation for A-Level. Entry into A-Level is not automatic, but depends on the successful completion of IGCSE - Level.
